New York City is an Important and Unique Market for Vehicle Electrification Oil Consumption Can be Substantially Reduced in the Near-Term by Electrifying Fleet Vehicles NORTHEAST TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION ALLIANCE

NYC is an Important Electrification Market
NYC, the World’s media center, has a high concentration of opinion leaders that favor electrification
NYC is the most transit-dependent city in the US with the largest number of fleet vehicles
NYC residents’ use of automobiles is atypical for US
7% use car every day
7% use car on weekends
Average NYC driver drives only 8,900 miles per year
40% of usage is for social or recreational use
Less than 50% park in garages
Consumes only 300 gallons of gasoline a year

Potential for Immediate Action – Electrify Fleet Vehicles
Public Sector Fleets
NYC owns fleets of 29,000 vehicles
NYC Transit operates 5,100 transit buses
NYC DOE contracts for 6,770 school buses
Private Sector Fleets
Con Edison operates 600 maintenance vehicles
AT&T, Verizon, FEDEX, UPS, Fresh Direct, and many more operate thousands of fleet vehicles
The Port Authority’s airports are served by thousands of shuttle buses and vans
Hunts Point Food Market is served by 15,000 trucks and vans

Estimated Annual Consumption of Petroleum-Derived Fuels
Public Sector Fleets
NYC Fleet, 29,000 vehicles ----- 26,000,000 gallons
NYC Transit, 5,100 vehicles –-- 55,000,000 gallons
School Buses, 6,770 vehicles – 15,000,000 gallons
TOTAL, 40,270 vehicles ---------- 96,000,000 gallons
A NYC driver consumes 300 gallons per year
Number of NYC driver’s electrified vehicles necessary to match Public Sector’s estimated potential oil reduction – 320,000
Private Sector Fleets
Consumption unknown

Justification for Fleet Electrification
Public sector vehicles are needed to provide services and transport residents
Vehicles are replaced annually as they age
Federal funding is available for transit vehicles
Electrification is justified as
O&M costs are reduced
Frequency regulation may further reduce costs
Substantial reduction in oil consumption is achieved in the near term
It paves the way for public acceptance of passenger vehicle electrification

Medium Duty Fleet Vehicles Smith Electric Truck Ford Transit Connect Van FedEx Van

Heavy Duty Fleet Vehicles Balqon – Drayage and Short Haul Trucks Proterra – 35’ and 45’ Fast Charge Transit Buses, School Buses, and Trucks

Foothill Transit CA – First Commercial Proterra Fast Charge Transit Application - 1

Grid Impact of Fleet Vehicle Electrification
Substantial revenues can be realized by providing frequency regulation services required to maintain grid stability
City operated fleets of electric vehicles and electric school buses are prime candidates
A leasing company can own, guarantee the performance, and provide the battery system to fleets of electric vehicles
Proterra will demonstrate an energy transfer concept at Everett Transit in WA that will
Facilitate multiple concurrent charging of vehicle fleets
Permit the reverse flow of electricity to the grid

Summary
Electrification of medium and heavy duty fleet vehicles can be implemented immediately
Vehicles will replace aging fleet vehicles
A wide variety of vehicles are available and manufacturing facilities are available, or being built
Only a limited infrastructure is needed
Grid integration with vehicle battery storage will reduce costs
The broad scale deployment of the electrified passenger vehicle, vital to the reduction of oil imports, will gain acceptance, but will take years
Timing will be dependent on
Improvement of the nation’s economy
Availability, price, and performance of vehicles
Installation of the supporting infrastructure

Northeast Transportation Electrification Alliance creates opportunities to use electricity to fuel vehicles, and serves as the single business interface needed to manage the diverse services required to complete projects intended to improve the livability of communities and reduce the consumption of petroleum-derived fuels
